The Apertura 2015 Copa MX Final was the final of the Apertura 2015 Copa MX, the seventh edition of the Copa MX under its current format and 74th overall organized by the Mexican Football Federation, the governing body of association football in Mexico.

Contents

The final was contested in a single leg format between Liga MX clubs, León and Guadalajara. [2] As winners, Guadalajara will face Veracruz (the winners of the Clausura 2016 edition) in the 2016 Supercopa MX to determine Mexico 3 of the 2017 Copa Libertadores. [3]

[5] Estadio León also hosted seven matches of the 1970 FIFA World Cup, including the quarterfinal match between West Germany and England. [6] The stadium also hosted four Group C matches and one Round of 16 match in the 1986 FIFA World Cup. [6]
